THE  RECTOR  SYSTEM  of  VACUUM  GAS  HEATING 


★ 


It  is  superior  to  every  other  system  of  heating  because  of  its 
economy,  cleanliness  and  convenience. 

By  merely  pressing  a  button  you  can  have  any  degree  of  tem¬ 
perature  in  one  room,  two  rooms  or  your  entire  house  whatever 
you  may  desire. 

Heating  with  the  Rector  System  is  as  easy  and  convenient 
as  lighting  with  Electric  Light. 

There  is  positively  no  dirt,  dust  or  odor  because  we  burn  the  gas

“HOMES  NOT  HOUSES  ”  CALIFORNIA  BUNGALOW  HOMES 


Bungalowcraft 

FOURTH  EDITION — TWENTY-FIFTH  THOUSAND 

A  Book  on  Bungalow  and  Cottage  building  in  its  latest  development.  Illustrated  with  half-tone  and 
line  engravings  of  the  charming  Bungalows  of  Los  Angeles,  Pasadena  and  adjacent  towns 
which  for  artistic  beauty  and  coziness  are  justly  famed  the  world  over. 

THE  MOST  EFFICIENT  AID  TO  BEAUTIFUL  AND  CONVENIENT  HOME  BUILDING 

Arranged  and  Edited  by  Henry  Menken

507  CHAMBER  OF  COMMERCE  BUILDING,  LOS  ANGELES,  CALIFORNIA 


We  have  made  long  careful  study  of  the  Bungalow  and  take  much  pride  in  the  credit  given  us  for  our  part  in  bringing  them  to  their  present 
state  of  perfection  in  outside  attractiveness  and  artistic  beauty  and  inside  cozy  convenience.  The  Bungalow  is  adapted  to  any  climate  and  can 
be  built  just  as  warm  and  comfortable  as  any  other  style  of  house  and  at  no  greater  cost.  But  it  is  a  mistake  and  a  certain  cause  for  disap¬ 
pointment  to  attempt,  as  many  do,  to  build  Bungalows  from  the  pictures  in  the  book,  and  without  our  plans.  The  intent  of  this  book  is 
only  to  give  a  general  idea  of  the  houses  and  arrangements.  The  complete  plans  are  inexpensive  and  without  a  plan  with  its  exact  measure¬ 
ments  and  carefully  studied  details  it  is  impossible  to  get  the  artistic  beauty  and  cozy  convenience  for  which  our  Bungalows  are  noted  all  over 
the  world.  In  fact  a  good  plan  is  the  best  and  most  economical  investment  a  home  builder  can  make.  It  eliminates  all  possibility  of  "extra 
charges,’’  the  great  bugbear  of  building.  The  contractor  knows  exactly  w  hat  he  must  furnish  in  labor,  materials  and  workmanship,  and  the  owner 
knows  exactly  what  he  may  expect  to  receive  and  just  what  he  must  pay  for.  The  estimates  given  in  this  book  represent  the  cost  of  the  necessary 
labor  and  materials  in  California.  In  colder  climates  these  costs  will  be  increased  from  10  to  25  per  cent.  See  next  page  for  description  of  plans,  ere. 


"Our  contractors  say  that  your  plans  are 
as  fine  and  complete  as  any  $100.00  plans 
they  ever  saw.” 

E.  A.  Hathaway,  Central  Point,  Ore. 


Bungalowcraft  Plans 


OUR  PLANS  show  four  elevations  (front,  rear  and  both  sides),  foundation  and  floor  plans  all  drawn  to  the  scale  of  one-fourth  inch  to  the 
foot.  They  are  complete  working  drawings  showing  the  size  and  exact  location  of  every  closet,  pantry,  bookcase,  seat,  buffet,  mantel,  door  and 
window;  piping  for  fuel  and  lighting  gas;  wiring,  outlets  and  switches  for  electric  lights,  etc.  A  roof  plan  is  given  where  any  intricacy  of  con¬ 
struction  seems  to  demand  it.  Interior  details  of  closets,  cupboards,  buffets,  mantels,  seats,  stairs,  beams,  wainscoting,  woodwork,  etc.,  are  drawn 
to  large  scale  with  sections.  The  specifications  are  as  complete  as  possible  and  cover  every  step  from  excavation  to  painting  and  finishing.  The 
plans  are  made  by  practical  men,  and  any  builder  can  follow  them  without  difficulty;  still,  if  a  question  arises,  we  shall  esteem  it  a  privilege  to 
be  allowed  to  reply  to  any  inquiry  or  to  explain  any  puzzling  matter.  We  wish  every  house  built  from  our  plans  to  prove  a  good  advertisement  for 
us.  Our  large  business  has  been  built  up  by  recommendations  from  pleased  clients. 

STOCK  PLANS — For  the  price  quoted  in  this  book  with  each  plan  we  send  a  complete  set  of  working  drawings  and  specifications  as  shown 
in  the  book  or  reversed.  Every  detail  is  covered  and  the  kind  and  quality  of  every  material  is  clearly  stated. 

The  prices  quoted  in  the  book  for  stock  plans  cover  only  one  set  of  plans  and  one  set  of  specifications.  Duplicate  sets  cost  $2.50,  if  ordered 
within  four  weeks  of  original  order.  All  of  our  plans  and  specifications  are  adapted  to  the  climate  and  the  building  material  of  the  location  in  which 
the  Bungalow  is  to  be  built.  We  send  plans  to  every  part  of  the  United  States,  Canada,  Cuba,  Mexico,  Hawaii,  etc.  In  reply  to  many  inquiries 
we  would  state  that  almost  invariably  the  ceilings  are  9  feet  high  on  first  floor  and  8%  feet  high  on  second  floor. 

SPECIAL  PLANS  TO  ORDER — If  you  do  not  find  a  house  in  the  book  which  exactly  meets  your  requirements,  let  us  make  special 
plans  for  you.  Make  a  rough  sketch  of  what  you  want,  showing  the  number  of  rooms  on  each  floor,  their  size  and  approximate  arrangement. 
Write  a  list  of  all  details  that  are  important  and  the  amount  of  money  you  wish  to  invest  and  send  to  us  together  with  a  remittance  or 
deposit  amounting  to  at  least  one-third  of  the  total  cost  of  the  plans.  Youcan  estimate  the  cost  of  the  plans  at  the  rate  of  $5.00  per  room,  not  count¬ 
ing  Hall,  Bathroom  or  Cellar  as  rooms.  We  will  then  make  exact  pencil  drawings  to  scale  (%  in.  to  1  ft.)  of  floor  plans  and  one  or  two 
elevations  and  submit  for  your  criticism.  These  pencil  drawings  can  be  altered  until  they  exactly  meet  your  wishes  when  we  will  finish  up 
with  all  necessary  details  and  send  you  three  sets  of  blue  prints  and  three  sets  of  specifications.  Sometimes  all  you  will  need  will  be  an  altered 
floor  plan  for  one  of  the  houses  illustrated  in  this  book  in  which  case  (provided  the  exterior  need  not  be  altered)  the  extra  cost  will  be  $5.00. 

ABOUT  ORDERING  AND  REMITTING — If  you  have  a  copy  of  this  book,  you  may  deduct  one  dollar  from  the  printed  price  when 
ordering  either  stock  plans  or  special  plans.  Please  order  stock  plans  by  number,  giving  your  postoffice  and  express  office  distinctly  written. 
When  possible,  we  much  prefer  to  send  plans  by  express  prepaid  rather  than  by  mail.  Make  checks,  etc.,  payable  to

NUMBER  1. 


It  frequently  is  desirable  to  build  a  good  deal  of  home  for  very 
little  money  and  the  illustration  shows  one  way — and  a  very  good 
way— to  do  it.  Built  in  “California  Style”  with  battened  boards 
and  burlap  it  can  be  put  up  complete  for  about  $720.00;  if  fin¬ 
ished  in  lath  and  plaster  it  will  cost  about  $1000.00.  While  origi¬ 
nally  built  for  a  village  home,  it  is  admirably  suitable  for  a 
ranch-liouse.  The  arrangement  and  sizes  of  rooms  should  be 

noted.  Complete  working  plans  and  specifications,  either  as  shown 
or  reversed,  $9.00.

cations  as  shown  or  reversed,  $8.00.

NUMBER  2. 


A  clever  arrangement  of  five  rooms  and  a 
bungalow  which  has  proved  to  he  attractive  and 
satisfactory.  One  chimney  carries  both  the  fire¬ 
place  flue  and  the  kitchen  flue.  This  house  has 
been  built  for  less  than  $800.00  fully  plastered 
and  well  finished.  Its  size  is  26  ft.  by  30  ft. 
It  has  a  convenient  cabinet  kitchen,  a  buttressed 
opening  between  the  living  and  dining  rooms 
and  is  light  and  airy  throughout. 

Complete  working  plans  and  specifications 
either  as  shown  here  or  reversed  with  all  in¬ 
terior  and  exterior  details,  $8.00. 

We  also  have  this  home  made  with  roof  slop¬ 
ing  to  the  front  much  like  No.  A  47  on  page  2. 


NUMBER  3 


POUCH. 


This  little  home  was  planned  by  a  lady  “who 
does  her  own  work.”  The  kitchen  is  the  very 
heart  of  the  house.  Just  a  step  or  two  takes 
one  to  any  room  and  the  floor  plan  should  be 
carefully  studied.  The  dining  room  with  one 
side  almost  all  window  is  an  unusually  cheerful 
room. 

This  house  cost  less  than  $1000.00  complete 
with  plumbing,  electric  lighting,  etc. 

Complete  plans  and  specifications  either  as 
here  shown  or  reversed,  with  all  interior  and  ex¬ 
terior  details,  $9.00. 

Rear  bedroom  may  connect  with  bathroom  if 
desired.  Note  open  fireplace  in  living  room  and 
buffet  in  dining  room. 

The  picture  does  not  do  justice  to  the  exterior. 
It  is  a  most  attractive  little  home. 


NUMBER  5. 


An  inexpensive,  snug  little  California  house.  Canvas  or  burlap  is  used  instead  of 
plaster  and  the  house  can  be  built  for  about  $500.00.  Living  room  is  wainscoted  5  ft. 
6  in.  high.  Number  5A  is  not  as  large  on  the  ground  and  has  only  three  rooms,  but  pre¬ 
sents  about  the  same  exterior.  Cost  about  $350.00.  Plans  and  specifications  for  No.  5, 
either  as  shown  or  reversed,  $7.00;  for  No.  5A,  $5.00.  Both  plans  have  cabinet  kitchens 
and  No.  5  has  a  built-in  buffet. 

We  have  these  plans  for  both  “boards  and  burlap”  and  “lath  and  plaster”;  when 
ordering  plans  state  which  is  wanted.  The  beam  structure  shown  in  front  of  porch  does 
not  belong  to  the  floor  plan.

of  about  $900.00  or  with  plaster,  etc.,  for  $1100.00.  It  has  a  fine  front  porch,  is  well  ar¬ 
ranged  and  has  a  very  handy  cabinet  kitchen,  as  in  fact  do  all  of  our  plans.  Complete 
plans  and  specifications  either  as  shown  or  reversed,  with  all  interior  and  exterior  details,

NUMBER  68-692 


Number  68-692  is  an  example  of  the  nearly  flat  roofed  chalets  which  have  be¬ 
come  so  popular  of  late.  Exterior  is  of  shakes;  porch-work  and  chimneys  are  of 
dark  red  brick.  The  roof  is  too  flat  for  shingles,  but  there  are  many  prepared 
roofings  which  are  satisfactory  in  every  way  and  more  durable  than  shingles.  The 
floor  plan  of  this  beautiful  home  is  roomy,  convenient  and  well  arranged  and  the 
original  house  was  built  complete  for  $1750.00.  It  is  28  ft.  by  44  ft.  exclusive  of 
porches.  It  is  a  mistake  to  attempt  to  build  any  house  without  a  plan,  but  these 
chalets  especially  turn  out  as  wretched  failures  unless  the  carefully  worked  out 
measurements  of  the  designer  are  followed  exactly.  Complete  plans  and  speci¬

For  any  climate,  but  especially  adapted  to  the  hot  zone,  a  stucco  house  has  many 
advantages  over  any  other  construction  if  properly  built.  It  is  dry  and  cool  in  summer, 
dry  and  warm  in  winter  and  always  healthful  and  sanitary.  This  house  is  built  up  of 
rough  stuff  covered  with  wood  or  metal  lath  and  two  coats  of  cement  stucco  outside. 
If  good  Portland  cement  of  proper  strength  be  used,  it  will  stand  any  weather  without

CAUTION 

Don’t  Build!  Without  Plans 

It  is  certain  cause  for  disappointment  to  attempt  to  build  Bunga¬ 
lows  from  the  pictures  in  the  book,  and  without  our  plans.  The  intent 
of  the  book  is  only  to  give  a  general  idea  of  the  house  and  its  arrange¬ 
ment.  The  complete  plans  are  inexpensive  and  without  a  plan  with 
its  exact  measurements  and  carefully  studied  details  it  is  impossible 
to  get  the  artistic  beauty  and  cozy  convenience  for  which  our  Bunga¬ 
lows  are  noted  all  over  the  world.  In  fact  a  good  plan  is  the  best  and 
most  economical  investment  a  home  builder  can  make.  It  eliminates 
all  possibilities  of  “extra  charges,”  which  is  the  great  bugbear  of  build¬ 
ing.  The  contractor  knows  exactly  what  he  must  furnish  in  labor, 
materials  and  workmanship,  and  the  owner  knows  exactly  what  he  may 
expect  to  receive  and  just  what  he  must  pay.

One  of  the  most  popular  of  our  2-story  Bungalows  of 
moderate  cost.  A  special  feature  is  the  arrangement 
of  the  front  porch  steps  which  permits  a  person  to  reach 
the  front  door  without  disturbing  the  occupants  of  the 
porch.  Living  and  Dining  Rooms  both  have  cozy  front 
nooks.  The  main  building  is  about  36  ft.  front  by  2  4 
ft.  deep  and  is  especially  adapted  to  a  lot  that  is  not 
very  deep.  The  cost  is  from  $2000.00  to  $2500.00,  ac¬ 
cording  to  inside  finish,  locality,  etc. 

Two  rear  bed  rooms  may  be  screened  for  out-door 
sleeping. 


We  do  a  very  large  business  and  it  has  all  been  built 
up  by  pleased  clients  who  tell  their  friends.

The  exterior  of  this  Bungalow  is  very  much  like  our 
No.  518  on  page  106  and  the  exterior  construction  is  prac¬ 
tically  the  same,  but  the  interior  arrangement  is  quite 
different.  Both  bedrooms  connect  directly  with  the  bath¬ 
room,  which  is  also  reached  quickly  from  Dining  Room 
or  Kitchen.  The  coat  room  with  its  lavatory  between 
Den  and  bedroom  is  a  very  handy  feature. 

The  house  is  30  ft.  by  50  ft.  exclusive  of  the  front  porch 
and  its  cost  was  $2000.00. 

Complete  working  plans  and  specifications  either  as 
shown  here  or  reversed,  $10.00.

Don’t  try  to  build  without  plans.  It  will  cost  you  a 
good  deal  more  and  your  house  will  not  be  satisfactory.

NUMBER  547 


Of  all  the  big  rambling  houses  we  have  designed  at 
low  cost  this  is  our  favorite.  It  is  an  ideal  home  where 
comfort  and  convenience  are  considered  rather  than 
“style.”  Study  the  floor  plan.  Billiard  room,  attic  den, 
or  two  bed  rooms  may  be  made  on  second  floor.  Size 
42  ft.  by  44  ft.  Cost  about  $1800.00. 

Complete  working  plans  and  specifications  with  all 
interior  and  exterior  details,  either  as  shown  or  reversed,

The  purchase  of  plans  and  specifications  is  the  best 
and  most  economical  step  a  home-builder  can  make, 
especially  if  a  beginner.

We  have  made  and  sold  thousands  of  steel  furnaces  in  Chicago,  and  we  have  sold 
them  everywhere,  by  mail,  direct  to  contractors,  builders  and  house  owners,  all  over  the 
country,  from  Maine  to  China.  We  don’t  offer  them  through  dealers,  for  the  DIRECT 
DEAL  with  the  consumer  is  the  most  satisfactory  to  all  concerned.  It  means  BETTER 
SERVICE— because  of  the  direct  interest  of  the  maker  in  each  contract— and  it  means 
LOWER  PRICES,  for  the  middlemen's  profits  are  cut  out. 

In  buying  the  Hess  Furnace,  you  need'nt  have  faith.  You  can  buy  it  now,  on  trial  and  test 
it  sixty  winter  days.  We  will  deliver  it  at  your  station,  with  all  pipes  and  registers— 
freight  prepaid. 

Set  it  up  and  use  it.  If  you’  re  not  pleased ;  not  sure  you  have  big  value  for  the  price— 
send  it  back  to  us— we  pay  return  charges— and  we  wont  claim  one  cent  from  you. 

We  don't  offer  you  credit,  however,  for  we  require  the  price  to  be  deposited  with  your 
local  banker  when  you  receive  the  goods.  He  holds  it  till  the  test  is  made,  subject  to 
the  conditions  outlined  above,  and  gives  it  to  you  or  to  us,  according  to  the  result’of  the 
test.  You  take  no  risk,  you  will  save  money. 

Our  furnace  is  made  of  steel,  EVERY  SEAM  WELDED,  and  therefore  permanently 
gas,  dust  and  smoke=tight.  Made  in  six  sizes,  and  burns  any  fuel.  There  is  no  furnace, 
better  at  any  price. 

Our  48=page  booklet  on  furnace  heating  is  free.  Ask  for  one.  It  will  give  you  a  lot 
of  useful  information  on  heating.
